Private Ayahuasca & San Pedro Retreat in the heart of San Pedro de Vilcabamba, in Loja, Ecuador. Casa Del Sol works with small groups to optimize the quality of your experience, and share the space as a family. Blessed with a beautiful location within the Valley of Longevity, we integrate ourselves with its powerful medicine; our retreats include walking through its mountains, cleansing ourselves in the waterfalls and in the river in front of our home. We make offerings, meditate, practice yoga, hold sweat lodges and plant medicine ceremonies to encourage this integration.

    As many do, I somehow fell into this magical place. I can’t remember who referred the place, but the all the things that kept me in Vilcabamba and the smooth unfolding of working with the team at Casa del Sol. Santiago and Ximena – you made Vilcabamba my second home. I ended up staying for a month and a half, surrounded by beautiful surroundings, gorgeous people and the beautiful healing that has affected my life for years and maybe even longer. I could not recommend high enough.

    i met Santiago and Ximena outside of their retreat place in peru.
    it was a gift and a honour to have them for a short while with us. Ximena still stays very close to my heart. she is such a strong,beautiful woman. i learned from her true humbleness,true love towards mother earth. her healings during the ceremonies are very deep, their is a lot of ancient wisdom flowing throu her,as she is so beautifully connected to her heart. i m grateful from the bottom of my heart to have met her and have had this wonderful healings with both of them.. it gave me a new picture of this power and deep love we as women carry within us. thank you for your truth and honesty,your beauty and strengh, ylur humbleness and love.

    t’s hard to put into words how powerful Santiago’s work is. Working with him was by far the most significant healing and learning experiences I have ever had in my life. I carry his teachings with me every day. Santiago is the embodiment of love, compassion, wisdom, and strength. Simply put, he is a master healer. Even those words don’t quite meet his level of expertise. I offer my highest recommendation for working with Santiago Ayala at Casa Del Sol.

    I recommend Casa del Sol to anyone searching for a new way to see the world. Tucked into a mountainside, Casa del Sol is the perfect place to work with the medicines. The landscape is beautiful and the wisdom of the medicine keepers help one navigate through troubling times in ones life. This is a journey you want to make!

    I am so grateful and lucky to have had the opportunity to be part of Santiago’s San Pedro ceremonies. They are amazing and among my cherished memories. He has so much wisdom and such a big heart, providing a safe space. Totally recommended for anyone interested in these medicines.
